Datura

TEXAS Datura Datura wrightii is one of Texas’ most striking native wildflowers, producing large, fragrant, trumpet-shaped white flowers that open in the evening and attract sphinx moths and other nighttime pollinators. Its bold gray-green foliage and spectacular blooms make it a dramatic addition to naturalistic landscapes, moon gardens, and wildlife-friendly plantings. Once established, it is highly drought tolerant and thrives in the hot, sunny conditions of Central Texas. Caution: All parts of the plant are highly toxic if ingested by people, pets, or livestock.
